A new-school country rocker with a reputation for red-dirt swagger and blue-collar grit, Sony Music Nashville artist Corey Kent has spent more than 15 years cutting his own path through stumbles and setbacks — and never once come close to waving a white flag. A Bixby, Oklahoma native now based in Dallas, the husband and father has grown from humble heartland roots into a Platinum-certified, Number One hitmaker with 750 million career streams. After the pandemic cost him his first publishing deal and forced a move to Texas and a job on a paving crew, Kent refused to quit music — and his relentless hope has paid off, making the black bandana he wears on stage a symbol of the path through his career and life.
